A thriller that just happens to contain 2 comedy actors, if it focused more on the comedy aspect I could’ve ignored the sloppy writing and beige story, so I’m sorta sad it focused on the action side. Wilder and Pryor worked really well and kept it light-hearted but were undercooked characters.

Kind of a mess but really entertaining. The less said about that one scene the better 🤮🤮

I love the start of this movie when Wilder is just been a smooth guy flirting with the girl.

This movie is a winner if you just move up Pryor's entrance to the first time Wilder gets dumped off the train and find a way to keep him around the rest of the movie.
